Most Easton Press Books are reprint editions of classics and other pieces of great literature. In addition, Easton Press produces several series of first editions and an occasional first-edition volume; these are clearly identified as first editions typically on the spine, the title page, and the signature page. The first-edition books are printed only once by Easton Press whereas the reprint editions are produced by Easton Press at will. Easton Press does not add any information to the reprint editions that would identify how many times a particular book had been printed. Easton Press copyright dates are changed only if and when the content of the book changes (e.g., a new introduction). Many eBay sellers incorrectly list reprint editions as first editions; some try to justify this practice by claiming that the book is a first Easton Press edition, something that cannot be reliably determined and, even if true, would make it only a first printing by Easton Press rather than a first edition of the particular work.
